The Hāna Rainforest Experience

The Hāna Rainforest is a unique destination due to its lush vegetation, waterfalls and other stunning examples of Hawai‘i’s unspoiled beauty. It can be difficult to access by driving, so a helicopter tour offers the best way to see close-up panoramas of the pristine tropical landscape. Maverick Helicopters now offers the ability to access the area by air and also land deep in the rainforest with our Hāna Rainforest Experience tour. Maverick is the only company to offer an air and landing tour of the Hāna Rainforest, enabling guests to have the best of both worlds—a comfortable trip, breathtaking aerial vistas, and an immersive experience on the ground.

The entire trip is approximately 75 minutes long, starting at the terminal conveniently located at Kahului Heliport. Guests will board one of the luxurious ECO-Star helicopters, which provide 23% more cabin space than any other tour-operated helicopter. It’s also the safest tourism-based helicopter in the world and offers significantly reduced flight noise. The ECO-Star’s wraparound windows let flyers enjoy sweeping 360-degree views, and the theater-style leather seating provides ultimate comfort.
